Art by Peggy Hemberg Bosse
From Peggy: As an artist and native of this beautiful state, outside is my favorite place to be.
There is so much nature to take in and so many colors to admire.
I feel so fortunate I see the many colors in the world the way I do and enjoy splashing them on the canvas.
I paint with all mediums, but oils always seem to pull me in. I start my paintings on a blank canvas with no plan in mind and no idea where each piece will take me. I often switch gear’s halfway through and enjoy the surprise of the finished piece.
Painting is my relaxation and each time I pick up a brush, I’m switched into the present moment.

Always hopeful the future brings time to paint all those images she sees in her mind.
From her website: Christine Sullivan has been pursuing art since early childhood and professionaly for over 35 years. Love of the surrounding environment is what motivates her to paint.
First painting in watercolor and other water media. Now mostly acrylics, loving the quick dry time and the challenge to keeps things loose.
Painting is a challenge, it takes much time and thought and study, but the rewards are very gratifying.
Just walking in her garden at her home in Maine or by the harbors on the coast, through her travels in the south, or to the family home in Michigan, there is no shortage of inspiration.
Always hopeful the future brings time to paint all those images she sees in her mind.
Carole Storro
It all begins with an idea.
From her website: The last 25 years I have dedicated myself to teaching students about the arts and now, in this next chapter of my life, I am a full time artist in Maine. The process of making art is a joyful experience for me. I create landscapes on canvas and wood panels using acrylic paints. My inspiration comes from observing the beauty found in the light, colors and shapes of nature which I feature throughout my work. My pieces all share a unique quality of bright colors and textured backgrounds.
Birch trees are my absolute favorite subject matter as well as landscapes, sunrises/sunsets and florals. I often enhance colors and composition to capture a moment or feeling. I want to share with my viewers what I see and feel with my heart, expressing the moments of joy in the world around me.
Jen Greta Cart
Goddess art, mermaid prints, unusual and romantically strange dragon greeting cards, paintings of strong and magical women and a secret world.
From Her Website: “So, my paintings tell about women and how our breath is the Goddess’s breath, how we’re not so different from the foxes, the deer. How our dreams are mermaid dreams, as we breast the waves and plunge beneath the chill green silk of their sides. My paintings are about flying, floating, on the night breeze because the fireflies and moths and owls call us to come to the window, raise our arms and ride the wind. My paintings are about walking into a jungle filled with perfumed flowers and friendly tigers and winged lizards, and knowing it for both a creation of our minds, and more real than anything. I paint joy in the grace and strength of a young body, and I paint the dignity of the wisdom of age.”
